Sen. Tammy Baldwin Under Fire as VA Scandal Grows

Sen. Tammy Baldwin for the most part has pretty much just enjoyed being in Washington DC collecting a paycheck.  She really hasn't appeared to do much for her constituents in the state of Wisconsin.  Going with the flow and being a reliable vote for the Democratic Party.

Now as a new allegation at the Tomah VA has surfaced, Baldwin again appears to have tried to deflect her responsibility.

Right Wisconsin:

"I would have thought that given the circumstances and the scrutiny she has been under, she would have done more," said Candace Baer-Delis, whose father died last month after suffering a stroke as he waited to be seen at the urgent care clinic at the Tomah medical center.

Baer-Delis wrote to the Madison Democrat and to Oshkosh Republican Sen. Ron Johnson on Jan. 28, two weeks after her father's death – and one week after Gannett Wisconsin Media reported Baldwin had a damning inspection report on the Tomah facility but did not act on it for months.

Baer-Delis said she outlined what happened to her dad, Thomas Patrick Baer, 74, of Marshfield, noting that he waited hours for treatment, suffered two strokes, and received no anti-clotting medications and no CT scan because the center's CT scanner was broken.

Later follow-up by Gannett Wisconsin Reporter Donovan Slack on the situation uncovered that when Baldwin reached out to Baer family, they hung up on the senator essentially telling her it was ‘too little, too late.’
